Raschel binding tapes are narrow knitted strips on the inside of a garment that often go unnoticed, yet they directly shape comfort and perceived quality. At Elif Tekstil Aksesuarları, we use raschel and crochet knitting to manufacture jacquard logo tape, striped tape, herringbone tape and neck binding tape. With our design team and sample department in Bağcılar, Istanbul, we build color, width and pattern around your brand and supply domestic and international brands on a wholesale basis.
Request a quoteRaschel Knitting Technique
In a raschel structure, warp yarns are interlooped stitch by stitch. The industry regards it as one of the most reliable methods for producing narrow tapes that do not unravel at the edges, hold their shape and arrive ready to sew.
Jacquard Logo Tape
By knitting your brand name or logo into the tape itself, we turn the inside of the garment into a communication space; every time the product is folded or hung up, your brand quietly reminds the customer of its presence.
Skin-Friendly Comfort
Soft-handle yarns and a clean edge structure keep binding, neck and collar seams from rubbing against the skin, creating an inner surface that reduces itching and irritation during long hours of wear.
Color and Pattern Matching
From solid shades that match your fabric exactly to contrast stripes and herringbone textures, our wide range of options lets us adapt the tape to your collection’s design language, confirmed through sample approval.
Your customer may never notice the binding tape; but they will feel its absence immediately, every single time the neck seam rubs against their skin.
An invisible detail, a quality you can feel
Raschel is a technique from the warp knitting family: the fabric is formed as lengthwise warp yarns create loops with latch needles and interlock with one another. In narrow tape production, this structure is often paired with crochet knitting machines; on these machines, the warp yarns form chain stitches while weft yarns are laid in between the loops, defining the tape’s width, texture and pattern. The result is a tape with a softer drape than woven ribbons and, compared with bias binding cut from fabric, finished edges that resist unraveling. The name raschel binding tape comes from these two ideas: a narrow tape produced by raschel or crochet knitting and used as binding.
The job of a raschel binding tape usually stays out of sight, but it directly affects how a garment feels. On T-shirts and sweatshirts, it covers the bulky seam line where the collar is attached, keeping coarse threads away from the neck; by supporting the back neck area, it limits how much the collar loses its shape over time. It cleans up seam allowances on polo collars, inner hood edges and jacket and coat linings, and serves as an edge-finishing tape on the inside of bags and in home textiles. With jacquard logo tapes, this functional component becomes a brand communication tool: every time your customer puts the garment on, they see your brand name on the inside.
At Elif Tekstil Aksesuarları, we run raschel binding tape production with the same care as our drawcord, elastic and label collections. Our design team plans the tape’s width, yarn type and pattern repeat according to your garment’s fabric and sewing method; our sample department prepares the first samples and submits color and handle for your approval. Thanks to our own production and our import-export experience, we plan both for the volume needs of domestic garment workshops and for the collection calendars of brands abroad. That way, you can source all your binding needs, from neck tape to logo collar tape, from a single supplier.
Types of raschel binding tape
Our raschel binding tape collection consists of four main types that deliver different visual and functional results on the same knitting platform. Each type can be customized with color, width and yarn options to suit your brand’s needs and the garment’s end use.
- 01
Jacquard logo tape
The pattern is worked into the tape through yarn selection during knitting, and your brand name or logo repeats at set intervals. Because there is no print, it does not wash off or crack, creating a lasting brand signature at the neck, collar and interior details.
- 02
Striped tape
Knitted with two or more colors in lengthwise stripes, this tape is an eye-catching detail at the neck, collar and hood edges in sporty and varsity-inspired collections. The number of stripes, their thickness and the color sequence are set to your request.
- 03
Herringbone tape
As the knit pattern changes direction at regular intervals, a characteristic V-shaped texture forms on the surface. Even in a single color, it offers a rich, textured look and lends an elegant identity to the inner edge finish of jackets, coats and classic styles.
- 04
Neck binding tape
Designed specifically to cover the seam allowance around the collar, this tape is used mostly on T-shirts, sweatshirts and polos. With its typical width of around 1 cm, it fully covers the seam line and creates a soft surface where the garment touches the skin.

Where is it used?
Key applications for Raschel Binding Tape.
T-Shirts and Sweatshirts
Tapes that cover the neck seam clean up the interior of these two most-worn garments and noticeably reduce the friction that causes discomfort around the neck during all-day wear.
Polo Collars
At the back neck and collar joins of polo shirts, jacquard logo tape or striped tape both conceals the seam and gives the garment a premium interior detail.
Sportswear and Tracksuits
On inner hood edges, behind zipper tapes and on tracksuit waist details, striped raschel tapes provide a dynamic finish that carries the sporty design language through to the inside.
Jacket and Coat Linings
Herringbone tapes that cover lining seam allowances and inner pocket edges create an elegant, durable edge finish that shows the care taken over the interior workmanship of outerwear.
Bag Interiors
Used along the inner seam lines of bags and backpacks, binding tapes prevent fabric edges from fraying and give the inside of the product a neat, professional look.
Baby and Children’s Wear
In baby and children’s garments, where skin is sensitive, a soft-handle neck tape covers the raised seam to improve wearing comfort and reflects the inner quality that parents pay attention to.
Options that define your binding tape
Very different tapes can be produced on the same raschel platform. When finalizing your order, we consider the five topics below together and plan each one carefully according to your garment’s fabric, sewing method and intended use.
About custom manufacturing- 01
Width
The tape width is chosen according to the seam allowance it will cover and the scale of the garment. While 1 cm is commonly preferred for neck binding, wider tapes can be planned on request for linings and bag edges.
- 02
Yarn and fiber
Polyester yarn offers vivid color and durability, while cotton yarn gives a natural, matte handle. The choice is made so that the tape shows shrinkage and dyeing behavior compatible with the garment’s main fabric.
- 03
Color matching
Matching the neck tape tone-on-tone with the fabric gives a clean interior look, while a contrast color turns the inside into a design element. Our sample department works out the closest shade from your fabric swatch.
- 04
Pattern and logo repeat
On jacquard tapes, logo size, text direction and repeat interval are planned according to the tape width. On striped models, stripe thicknesses and color rhythm are built around your corporate palette.
- 05
Put-up and packaging
Tapes are wound on rolls or spools to suit how they are used on your production line. Winding length and labeling are set on request to streamline the workflow of your garment workshop.
Raschel tape vs. woven ribbon vs. bias-cut binding
There are three common solutions for covering seams and finishing edges. The table below summarizes, by key criteria, where raschel knitted tape stands compared with woven ribbon and bias binding cut from fabric.
| Criterion | Raschel knitted tape | Woven ribbon | Bias-cut binding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production method | Warp knitting | Weft-and-warp weaving | Bias-cut from fabric |
| Edge structure | Finished, does not unravel | Finished, woven selvage | Raw, folded and sewn |
| Handle | Soft, flexible | Stiffer, stable | Depends on main fabric |
| Pattern options | Jacquard logo, stripe, herringbone | Woven pattern and logo | Limited to fabric pattern |
| Conforms to curves | Good | Moderate | Very good |
| Typical use | Neck, collar, lining, bag interior | Hanger loops, belts, reinforcement tape | Armhole and neckline edges |

Bulk raschel production
Once the sample is approved, the tapes are knitted in bulk on raschel and crochet knitting machines. Throughout production, width tolerance, color consistency and edge evenness are checked at regular intervals against the approved sample.
- 5
Winding and delivery
Tapes that pass inspection are wound on rolls or spools as requested, labeled and packed. Shipments go to domestic or international destinations on a schedule planned around your garment program and the project.
Quality control tips for raschel binding tapes
- Measure the width of the tapes you receive at several points and compare it with the approved sample.
- With dark-colored tapes, test on the sample whether any color bleeds onto light-ground fabric.
- Feed the tape without stretching it during sewing; excessive tension can cause rippling at the neckline.
- On jacquard logo tapes, make sure the text is sewn in the direction that reads correctly on the garment.
- Do not mix tapes from different production lots on the same product; shade differences may occur.
- Store rolls in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight, without crushing them.
Raschel Binding Tape: your questions answered
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help.
What is raschel binding tape?
Raschel binding tape is a narrow knitted tape produced by raschel or crochet knitting and used as binding on garments. Formed by warp yarns interlocking through loops, this structure yields a strip with finished, unravel-resistant edges. It provides both comfort and a clean interior look in applications such as neck binding, collar finishing, linings and bag interior edge finishing.
What is the difference between raschel knitted tape and woven tape?
In a woven tape, weft and warp yarns cross over and under each other at right angles, resulting in a more stable, stiffer strip. In raschel knitting, the yarns connect by forming loops, which gives the tape a softer handle and slight flexibility. Thanks to this softness, raschel tapes are generally found more comfortable at the neck and collar areas that touch the skin.
Which products are raschel binding tapes used on?
The most common application is the neck and collar area of knitwear such as T-shirts, sweatshirts and polos. They are also chosen for inner hood edges, jacket and coat linings, inner pocket openings, bag interior seams and tracksuit details. In short, raschel binding tapes offer a functional solution wherever a seam allowance needs to be both hidden and softened against the skin.
Can a logo be added to binding tape?
Yes. On jacquard logo tapes, your brand name or logo is worked into the tape with yarn colors during knitting and repeats at set intervals. Because the pattern is part of the texture, there is no print layer to wear off over time. When you share your artwork, our design team assesses how legible the logo will be at the chosen tape width and proposes a workable layout.
In which widths do you produce raschel binding tape?
Width is set on request according to where the tape will be used. For neck binding applications, a width of 1 cm is commonly preferred, and our product catalog includes the 1 cm Neck Cover Binding Tape model in this size. For linings, bag interiors or decorative applications, we review your different width requirements together on a sample and finalize the size that suits your garment’s seam allowance.
Can I source raschel binding tape together with drawcords or elastics from the same supplier?
Yes. At Elif Tekstil Aksesuarları, alongside raschel binding tapes, we also offer drawcord, elastic, zipper pull, zipper and label collections. Working with a single supplier lets you manage color matching in one place, plan sample processes together and simplify shipping. This consistency is especially convenient for products with several accessories, such as tracksuits and sweatshirts.
How does the ordering process for raschel binding tape work?
The process begins with an initial meeting where we discuss the product the tape will be used on and your expectations. Then a width, yarn, color and pattern plan is prepared, a sample is knitted and submitted for your approval. Order quantity and delivery schedule are planned per project; after sample approval, your order moves through bulk production, quality control and winding and is delivered in line with your garment program.
